It is a nice to the point article recently published on ARS about SD and its future plans.
OK. I am not a very happy camper. I lost nearly a weeks time trying to figure out what was going on with my system. I keep my workstation running weeks at a time without a reboot so at first I did not understand what was going on. After a seemingly routine reboot for network refresh purposes I got the BsoD. Moreover no matter what I did I could not avoid it. So I had to rebuild my system from scratch; a timely process to say the least. Well after nearly a days effort I rebooted and the
I think the exact opposite. An open map would be easier for the AI defensively because it would only have to consider local targets for each planet and can prioritize high value objects on a planet by planet bases. This should allow for it to defend more appropriately. It can also evaluate firing arcs and service radius from the center point of the planet. This would allow for interlocking fields of fire and 360* coverage. The current system simply does not seem to do this at all. More
I hope the music has some ancient Greek/Roman themed stuff in it as well as tribal sounds. In my opinion the best type of music would be aria based with a strong melancholy feel that evokes a sense of hope nonetheless. A great example of this is the Divinitus song by Jeff van Dyck from RTW. I would also theme the sounds by race. The baddies can get some Omen sounding stuff. The good guys can get some gospel oriented tunes and the neutral race can have some native American sounds.
As I said on the SLI forums I have been following this project for about two years and it is a true labor of love. RDM should be talking with these guys. Because with a little official support it has the promise to quite possible become the all time best series to game product. When one considers the Srar Trek and Star Wars fiasco titles that were crammed out the door on a formula system this thing is gold. Hell I even sent Frogboy an email about it early last year in the hopes that SD would con
@Craig - great news. Sorry if it is common knowledge as I have not had time to read all the posts in the forums yet. Cool! A new patch. Downloading shortly. @Ash - I would refine that list more and divide each category into priority targets and prevailing targets for each. @BDU - LOL - me too my friend, me too. @lord - My last game before the crash I owned 30% of the planets and had a fleet of 20 ships and my level was a mere 25%. My play style is super high
@Craig - thanks. Regarding the memory it is not an issue for me at least I have several GB to go. I mentioned it because I was not sure it was meant to use that much.
I got an error finally it is as follows: Failed to find StringID: 'IDS_SUPPORTABILITY_REPAIRTECHPLANETMODULE_NAME'. NOTE: Any following StringID failures will be supressed. Additionally, it is currently using 1.5GBs on memory (Sweet)
->1Spartan: Your computer is making me drool. Thanks.
Mr Moneybags LOL! The entire rig is brand new with all top of the line extreme components and cost over.... [w
@Ash & Lord - I have two 30" and two 20" Dell FPD. Since I am using SLI mode for the game I can only use one monitor. I chose to use one of the 30" ones. Its max res is 2560x1600 and sadly the refresh rate is a mere 60Htz.
Well so far so good. I see lots of potential for this title. I cant add any real useful comments at the moment because I have only had about an hour with it. With that said I must say it is fluid and crisp on all visual levels at 2560x1600 resolution. Moreover it barely makes a spike on my CPU meter - so far. Regarding any suggestions at the moment I feel the speed should be slowed down (I love to fly around with the camera to check things out and often it is over before I can find a g
@Zpyke - did you download my mod? Everything works as expected if installed correctly.
